Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Durrett Collection, Now in the Library of the University of Chicago All other volumes contain but a single title. When there are more than ten numbers but fewer than twenty the cover boards are covered with mottled paper and given a black cloth back. When there are more than twentynumbers the boards are covered with a three-quarters canvas binding. We are confident that these splendid canvas bindings will stand usage equal to the best leather and will continue clean and strong long years after leather would have disintegrated and fallen apart. The user of these volumes will find in each a type written title-page giving a complete list of all papers in the volume and in most' cases a brief history of the paper. In turning through the volume his fingers touch only the projecting manila sheets, except when he pauses to examine a paper closely, thus reducing wear and tear upon the papers themselves and insuring to them the longest possible life consistent with use. The oldest title in the collection is the London Chronicle, London, England. A few numbers of Lloyd's Evening Post, London, and the American Eagle, Vera Cruz, Mexico, complete the list of foreign papers in the collection. Since nearly 90 per cent of all the papers are from Kentucky we will divide them for consideration into Kentucky newspapers and non-kentucky newspapers.
